Is G325a the same as FBI name check?

Hello,
I have recently become a naturalized US citizen and I will be filing I-130/I-485 for my wife (who is already in the US with H1-B visa) soon.
While applying to become a citizen, I went through the FBI name check process. Fortunately, my application was not delayed as the result of name check.

It is my understanding that I have to fill out G325a for myself and my wife has to fill out hers for I-130. I wonder if G325a is another form of name check? Who uses G325a? FBI or some other departments ? Will we be able to find out if the G325a check is cleared?

I am new to the I-130 process so I appreciate your help in advance.

There is no form for Namecheck

USCIS submits the name of the immigrant beneficiary to FBI to check the criminal background of the beneficiary. But this is done internally between two federal agencies.

There is no form for it. I believe G-325a is used for authorizing an agent like an attorney to discuss you immigration file.
 
The G325 a is the info the FBI will use to check background as well as Info the USCIS will use to verify your identity & where you have lived & work, it is your immigration profile form.
